RECEPTACLE WITH TEMPERATURE INDICATOR v 1 Original FiledNov. 23, 1955Inventor Js/a/b Bend/my UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RECEPTACLE WITHTEMPERATURE INDICATOR Joseph Benamy, Atlanta, Ga.

Application November 23, 1935, Serial No. 51,323 Renewed August 12, 19371 Claim.

This invention relates broadly to receptacles and more particularly to areceptacle having as a unitary part thereof a thermometer whereby thetemperature of the contents of the receptacle may be readilyascertained.

The present invention contemplates the provision of receptacles, such asnursing bottles and any and other of all types of liquid containers witha thermometer whereby the temperature of i l the liquid contents of thecontainer may be readily ascertained.

The invention together with its objects and advantages will be bestunderstood from a study of the following description taken in connection.15 with the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure l is an elevational view illustrating the application of theinvention to a nursing bottle, and

Figures 2 and 3 are detail views taken sub- 20 stantially on the lines2-4 and 3-3 respectively of Figure 1.

Reierring to the drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that inthe preferred embodiment thereof the receptacle indicated generally bythe 25 reference numeral 5 has formed integrally and on the peripheralwall thereof a thermometer indicated generally by the reference numeral6. The thermometer 6 may be either of the Fahrenheit or centigrade type.30 While the thermometer 6 may be associated with receptacle 5 in anysuitable or well known manner it will be seen that in the formillustrated the wall or the receptacle, in any well known manner isprovided with a radially projecting longitudinally extending integrallyformation 1 provided with an insulating or air chamber I and a chamber 9for the mercury It. By

providing the air chamber 8 the mercury of the 5 I thermometer will notbe affected by the variation of temperature changes externally of thereceptacle 5 and consequently will indicate accurately the temperatureof the contents of the receptacle. It will be understood of course thatthe chamber 10 9 for the mercury I0 is sealed in any suitable manneralso proper graduation's will be provided on the outer surface of theformation 1 and in proper relation to the mercury l0.

In the present instance I have illustrated the receptacle 5 as being inthe form 01' a nursing bottle, the nipple being indicated generally bythe reference numeral I I. It will be understood however that anyreceptacle of any character or for any purpose may be equipped with athermometer in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A receptacle having a thermometer embedded in its wall and a closed airchamber in the wall and spaced outwardly from and partly surrounding thethermometer to insulate the thermometer from exterior temperatures, saidthermometer being in direct contact with the wall of the receptacleinwardly of said air chamber.
